Taste Description

Colour
Very pale straw with lime green hues.

Nose
Instant white peach stone fruit flavours abound ensued by a lovely array of florals –orange blossom and jasmine. Fresh and pure with a light creaminess arising from time spent on yeast lees in French oak. Lovely fruit and oak integration.

Palate
Stone fruits persist alongside fresh citrus and green apple and just a splashing of honey suckle. Fine and pure with a subtle and soft oak influence finishing with a long, mineral acid structure that gives great length of flavour.

Vintage Conditions

Above-average winter and spring rainfall provided healthy soil moisture profiles for the growing season. Cool days and cooler nights slowed vine growth in early spring with temperatures warming in October. A mild and mostly dry start to summer was followed by two significant rain events in February. Rainfall slowed in early autumn with a high heat cycle quickly following. Moving into March, mild days slowed the ripening with cool nights and warm days persisting until harvest.
